Abstract

A card slot apparatus of a card and an electronic machine includes a slot body having a slot in which a card is inserted, and a heat radiating unit movable between a first position spaced apart from the card and a second position contacting the card. A moving unit moves the heat radiating unit to the second position while moving in an opposite direction to an inserting direction of the card in combination with an inserting operation of the card into the slot body. An elastic unit elastically urges the moving unit in a moving direction thereof. The heat radiating unit includes a heat sink, and an elastic member to press the heat sink when the heat sink is moved to the second position. The elastic unit elastically urges the moving unit in the moving direction thereof when the heat sink is moved to the second position.
